"
This book told all kinds of Indian fables. I've been interested in India lately so I thought this book was really good.
" Alexis said.

"Anna Milbourne has done a good job of collecting excellent and unusual tales, and even plausibly summarizing the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Not an easy task!

New to me -- completely new, which is a rarity given the number of folk tales I've devoured -- are a group of stories featuring Birbal, advisor to the Emperor Akbar, and Birbal's witty resolutions of the tasks to which he is set. I've shortened this one to the bare bones: (view spoiler)[Akbar: What should be done with someone who pulls the Emperor's mustache? Other advisors: Boil him in oil! Akbar: What say you, Birbal? Birbal: Give him sweets. Akbar: Why so? Birbal: Because the only one who would dare to pull your mustache is your little grandson. Akbar: Good job, here's another bag of gold. (hide spoiler)]" J.
